Almarma Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hi, I have to say that, while Prestashop is full of features for your shop, I hate the administration options and the update/upgrade system. For a user like me, coming from Wordpress, having such a mess of versions, having to be careful before updating it, because of plugins and themes incompatibilities, is really unbelievable. I'm using right now 1.5.5.0 but I don't know for sure if I should stay here, or keep upgrading as new releases come. Really scary. Well, after the rant, my question: As I said, I'm using PS 1.5.5.0. I have to paid modules that I want to update to the lastest release, but I cannot find any information about how to do it. Yes, the "official" ones just need one click to install, I know, but what happens with a module bought in another website? How should I update it? Because it's not detected automatically. Should I upload the new zip to the PS modules folder and replace it? This and the lack of documentation about it, both in the official PS site and in the modules websites really piss me off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Your best line of action would be to contact the individual developers and ask them if the modules are compatible. Then ask for an upgraded module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almarma Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Really? I've checked on their sites that they are compatible. Do I need to ask each one for instructions about how to update the modules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 You need the actual upgraded modules. Different developers have different policies on upgrades. You need to email them and ask them for the upgraded modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almarma Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 I mean I have the zip file with the new upgraded module. Do I need specific instructions for each one? There isn't any standard procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 For most modules the standard procedure is just go into the back office and install it like you would a new module. Some modules might have you place new manual overrides, but they should let you know if you have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
